Saquon Barkley is his daughter Jada’s favorite!
Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl 2025 winner Barkley, 28, was accompanied by his daughter Jada, 6, as he discussed the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory over the Kansas City Chiefs after the game on Sunday, Feb. 9.
“Guess what, your Daddy won a Super Bowl! Are you so excited?” the commentator said to the tween in the studio.
Jada, who was sitting on her dad’s lap dressed in a denim jumpsuit, sweetly said to Barkley, “Congratulations, you’re my favorite,” much to his obvious delight.
The Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and Barkley, the team stopped the Chiefs from achieving NFL history and becoming the first team to win the Super Bowl three years in a row.
The Super Bowl was a double celebration for Barkley, the Eagles’ running back, as Feb. 9, also marked his 28th birthday.

Ahead of the game, Barkley told PEOPLE that playing in the Super Bowl is “the best birthday gift” he could ask for. “The only thing better than that is winning the Super Bowl on your birthday,” he said as part of his partnership with Flipz.
The engaged sports star also revealed that he was totally in “Super Bowl mode” and that birthday celebrations had been postponed.
As well as Jada, Barkley shares two-year-old Saquon Jr. with fiancée Anna Congdon who he met in college at Penn State University. Ahead of the Super Bowl, Barkley told PEOPLE that he owes much of his success Congdon, to whom he has been engaged for around six months.

“I can’t be the athlete I am and have the success I have so in my career without the help of her,” he said. “She … always has my back, not only in football but throughout life there’s a lot that goes on. But as we continue to grow and mature and go through life together, we continue getting closer and continue to get even better.”
Barkley added that he and Congdon, “sit back and laugh sometimes [thinking] about where everything started.”
